AUDIENCE APPEAL: MANY

Hedgehog embarks on a quest to find the Friend ship. Along the way, he asks everyone he meets if they've seen it, and to his delight, new friends join his journey at every stop. Finally, upon arriving at an island, they meet Wise Elephant, who shows Hedgehog to realize that Friendship isn't a destination, but the journey itself.

I thought Yeh wrote such a cute story. I love how it teaches you that in order to find a friendship you have to make one by meeting people. You can’t just expect to find it but instead, you need others to help you and to guide you.
